Destin Michelle Gillum

I hired her payed her over 3 grand she ghosted me then lied saying she filed 30 days after my filing was up still nothing filed all lies she took my money and ran now no response for 3 weeks and is keeping my money from me when she's done nothing at all I had to retain new lawyer and a few lawyers ha...ve told me she's done this same thing to multiple people and her reputation is going down hill fast all around the worst attorney ever possible I've requested Moy money back for a month nothing just ghosted while she tries to take other people's money total crook she doesn't deserve one start she needs her license took for good

We retained Destin for a crucial legitimation/custody case and paid her $2500 retainer just to get started. She failed to respond to ANY of my emails and failed to follow through with 3 scheduled phone calls. Basically she did nothing. We contacted her for advice when I was summoned for a hearing to ...take place in 3 business days in Fla where my girlfriend was hiding with my child to determine how she would handle that or if she could not - what we needed to do in the 3 days we had before appearance. Both my mother and I expressed concern and urgency to no avail. We heard NOTHING from her and were forced to terminate her representation and seek another attorney on an urgent basis. We got more help over the phone with a firm we had not retained than we ever got from Ms Gilliam. Now as we are trying to get refunded she still has not replied to a SINGLE email or phone call and it is our intention to report our experience to the bar. DO NOT waste your time with this attorney!
